Pros

deep pockets unasailable market share in Germany good process engineering skills focus on environment

Cons

bureacratic, cold, aloof, stifling duplicitous - none of the statements made during the takeover of Engelhard turned out to be true weak, dishonest, pathetic management - starting with the team that integrated Engelhard If you're not German you have no future with the company at all Weak R&D low-end, commodity business focus - inevitably will lose out due to rise of Middle East higher-end chemical businesses, US energy cost advantage, and aging, shrinking European market

Pros

BASF is a diverse employer that offers good opportunities for advancement. Senior management is available and accepts new ideas. A large focus is put on employee satisfaction.

Cons

Average compensation and can act as a very large organization(as it is). Some personalities do not perform will in matrix organizations. Care should be taken if you do not like these types of groups.
